This is unfortunate that it doesn't support Target Display mode. I even got a thunderbolt adaptor thinking it would work the same way my 2014 macbook can connect using Thunderbolt. Now I have to return the adaptor...

Hi Birkcran,

The new M1 Mac mini and other M1 Macs do not work with Target Display mode, so no, this will not work.

Cheers,

Jack
